Abstract

This study approaches the theme of gender inequality in labor, specifically about gender wage gap, equality and the legal principal of equal pay for equal work, in order to evaluate how is contemporary present the demand for wage parity as a right and as part of citizenship. Therefore, we analyze the legal prohibition for direct and indirect discrimination to women that executes the same function occupied by a man, systematization that reveals sociooccupational diversities and a still insufficient legal compensation by the positive discrimination. We observe that despites the progress achieved with the inclusion of women in the labor market, the socioeconomic, political and cultural determinations that affects gender relations interferes in the applicability of the legal instruments, connecting this legal issue with other diversities in the contemporary capitalism; consequently equal pay remains as an urgent and challenging demand of citizenship.
